Directed issue of warrants and approval of transfer of warrants (LTIP 2019)
In accordance with the Board’s proposal, the meeting resolved to implement a long-term incentive program for employees in the Nyfosa Group. In order to implement the program, the meeting resolved on a directed issue of not more than 1,950,000 warrants. The warrants shall be issued free of charge to the company’s wholly owned subsidiary Nyfosa NYAB 9 AB, which shall transfer the warrants to employees. The reason for not applying the shareholders’ pre-emption rights is to introduce an incentive program and thereby a remuneration structure which is competitive within each market the company operates, to provide alignment for the management team with company strategy, to create focus amongst employees on delivering exceptional performance which contributes to value creation for shareholders and to give employees the opportunity to take part in the company’s success.

The subsidiary shall transfer the warrants to employees in the Group (divided in certain categories) on market terms at a price (premium) established on the basis of a calculated market value by an independent valuation institute. Each warrant entitles a right to subscribe for one new share in Nyfosa AB. The subscription price per share shall consist of the average share price at the time of the issue of the warrants with an increase or decrease calculated according to Carnegie's Real Estate Index (CREX) until September 2022, when it is finally set. Subscription of shares in accordance with the terms and conditions for the warrants as a result of exercising the warrants may be exercised during a two-week period from the day following the disclosure of the company’s interim report for the period of July – September, 2022, the company’s year-end report for 2022 and the interim report for the period January – March 2023, however, no later than June 10, 2023. Upon full exercise of all warrants, 1,950,000 new shares can be issued, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 1.15 percent of the total number of shares and the total number of votes in the company.

The warrants shall be subject to an obligation for participants who wish to transfer or otherwise dispose of his or her warrants, to first offer the warrants to the company to the lowest of the acquisition value and the market value. Should a participant’s employment with or assignments for the company be terminated during the program, a corresponding right of first refusal shall apply. The company will by means of a cash bonus subsidize up to 100 percent of the participants premium (up to and including the guaranteed level). The bonus consists of two payments, each of 50 percent, during the term of the warrant program.

Issue authorisation
The meeting resolved to authorise the Board to issue new shares on one or several occasions during the period up to the next Annual General Meeting, to the extent that such new issue can be made without amending the articles of association. The issue may take place applying or disapplying shareholder pre-emption rights. Based on the authorisation the Board may resolve to issue a number of new shares not exceeding ten percent of the total number of outstanding shares in the company at the time of exercising the authorisation.
